This is an important message, and I don't want to distract from it, but there's some brutal irony in being lectured about the important of kindness by Jeff Bezos. Amazon is the home of "Nearly every person I worked with, I saw cry at their desk" and fires pregnant women for taking too many bathroom breaks.

Come to think, this is actually a pretty good example of the importance of framing your message properly if you want to be heard.
